Hanging with Harold is not a class or a workshop. It's not a show, either. It's a learn-by-doing drop-in jam where Sea Tea Improv and members of the improv community (that's you, just by showing up!) perform a kind of longform improv together known as the Harold.

"You'll have to do about a hundred Harolds to start feeling comfortable with the form." - Matt Besser, founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade

We will keep track of the cumulative number of Harolds done by each participant from week to week. Each week, we will do 1, 2 or 3 Harolds (time depending), and everyone who participates will add to their Harold total toward everyone's personal goal of 100 completed Harolds.

Who will be first to reach 100 Harolds completed?

An Improvised Christmas Carol – December 8-18

A hilarious retelling of Charles Dickens's Christmas classic twist! This show combines *your suggestions* with the improvisers’ imaginations to create a performance of A Christmas Carol like nothing you have ever seen. See how your suggestions tell an all new tale of how Christmas can (or can't!) change Ebenezer Scrooge's life!
